I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Dark Wood, Industrial Antiques, Science and Leather -- What more could you want?

Oh I love looking at other people's homes. As someone else said, it's very inspiring.. Some people are so creative. I'm envious of the flip chart in the first photo! And the "lab" stools in a couple of the photos (particularly the worn-in ones) look great!
